Perhaps what is the best depends on what you want to do actually.
I think that the both compilers at sh-linux.org are stable.
Please don't forget that one specific version of a software might
require limited versions of gcc to build it correctly.  This isn't
the case for many userland programs but is prominent for kernel
and glibc.
I believe that any binutils 2.13.90 and after would be stable
enough for the almost normal works.
If you want the other gcc-glibc combinations, you can try Dan Kegel's
crosstool
